Description


Urban Warfare brings 'Mech combat to the vast cityscapes of the Inner Sphere! Electronic warfare, large-scale building destruction, environmental mechanics, new enemy units and more make the urban sprawl a whole new battlefield.

Urban Warfare

Street brawls introduce new tactical gameplay challenges as ‘Mech combat moves from wide-open natural landscapes to vast urban sprawls. Every building in the new urban biome is fully destructible, so you’re never more than a few salvos away from a new line of sight, or the defensive cover of high-rise rubble. Destroyed coolant exchanger buildings, and broken electrical transformers that disrupt targeting will drastically change the battle as you go.

Electronic Warfare

The return of these lost technologies will forever change the 31st century battlefield. ‘Mechs equipped with Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) and nearby friendly units are obscured from enemy targeting systems and immune to indirect fire. Meanwhile, ‘Mechs equipped with Active Probe can reveal, locate, and target enemy units that would otherwise be hidden.

Two New BattleMechs

The experimental Raven 1X sports an advanced electronic warfare package that combines ECM and Active Probe systems into a lightweight component. The Javelin is a compromise between speed and firepower, with close-range knockout power.

New Flashpoints

A wide variety of new branching short stories that link together mercenary missions, crew conversations, special events, critical choices, and rare bonus rewards.

Three New Enemy Vehicles

The Gallant Urban Assault Tank sports a variety of weapons to fight at all ranges with speed and agility, the Packrat is a battlefield support vehicle equipped with a prototype version of ECM, and the Rotunda is a reconnaissance vehicle equipped with a prototype version of Active Probe.

New Encounter

Attack and Defend is a challenging new mission type where your mercenaries must destroy an enemy’s base to stop a steady stream of attackers before they can overcome your forces and knock out your employer’s base.

The best of the DLC for me, but it's price tag is way over the top for the value provided, especially in comparison to the value for money of the base game. Get it on a sale only.

The new Mechs are pretty good, the Raven especially is interesting. But I don't like the new urban maps, they're much more constrained than the base game's maps and feel much more boring. Also the new Attack and Defend

I bought this on a discount and I'm glad I did. Since installing it, over gaming 100 hours ago, I've gone on four urban missions. They just don't show up! When they are available, it's quite fun. Hopping around

Overpriced as hell, not really worth paying that much. Wait for a sale, or see if you can get it for cheaper elsewhere. At the absolute most, you should be paying half the price. Some don't like the urban maps, but I'm

Overpriced as hell, should have been in the base game. Screw Paradox, they always do this garbage.

The urban maps are unique and adds to the game which is positive! however, the daylight cityscape is a bit underwhelming compared to the natural landscape imo. New mechs and techs is always a welcome. So I'd recommend
